LUTENSOL® NONIONIC SURFACTANTS
What Are Nonionic Surfactants?
Nonionic surfactants are a class of surfactants that do not carry a charge on its hydrophilic
head group.
Examples of nonionic surfactants are alcohol ethoxylates, alkylphenol ethoxylates,
alkyl polyglucosides, and amine oxides. BASF Lutensol® surfactants are all alcohol
ethoxylates and alkoxylates.

Chemical structure and Nomenclature
Lutensol® surfactants are named according to the identity of their hydrophobe and according
to the degree of ethoxylation. The hydrophobe is indicated with a 2 or 3 letter abbreviation
(ex. XP or TDA). Usually the degree of ethoxylation is equal to the number shown in the
product (Lutensol TDA 9 has 9 moles of EO).
In the case of Lutensol XP and Lutensol XL, the degree of ethoxylation is indicated by the first
digit in the name (Lutensol XL 90 has 9 moles EO).
Finally, some products are sold as solutions in water for convenient product handling.
Products sold as solutions in water will have 2 digits and end in a 9 (ex. Lutensol XP 89).

The Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of a Surface tension is a phenomenon in which
surfactant is a measure of the degree to the surface of a liquid, where the liquid is
which it is hydrophilic or lipophilic, determined in contact with gas, acts like a thin elastic
by calculating values for the different regions sheet. This term is typically used only when
of the molecule, as described by Griffin. the liquid surface is in contact with gas
(such as the air). If the surface is between
two liquids (such as water and oil), it is
called “interface tension.”

LUTENSOL® SURFACTANTS PRODUCT GUIDE 24Sustainability
We believe that a world with more efficient and safer chemicals is a better world for all.
Our commitment to the industry, to society and to the environment has been translated into
initiatives like developing Safer Choice, biodegradable, and biobased product portfolio.
We are constantly adding sustainable ingredients to the Lutensol portfolio. So consider this
list as a starting guide!
DEFINITIONS EPA Inert Ingredients permitted
